3.2

Functional Performance Tests The purpose of functional performance tests is to demonstrate that the equipment/installation can meet the functional and performance requirements as specified in the General/Particular Specifications. Functional performance test should proceed from the testing of individual components to the testing of different systems in the installation. The Contractor may have to make temporary modifications as the test proceeds. The specific tests required and the order of tests will vary depending on the type and size of systems, number of systems, sequence of construction, interface with other installations, relationship with the building elements and other specific requirements as indicated in the General/Particular Specifications. The testing of systems may have to be carried out in stages depending on the progress of work or as proposed by the Contractor. Part of the tests may be required to be carried out in suppliers premises in accordance with the provisions in the General/Particular Specification. Any performance deficiencies revealed during the functional performance tests must be evaluated to determine the cause and whether they are part of the contractual obligations. After completion of the necessary corrective measures, the Contractor shall repeat the tests. If any test cannot be completed because of circumstances that are beyond the control of the Contractor, it shall be properly documented and reported to the PBSE, who shall then liaise with the relevant parties to resolve the situation. The Contractor shall resume his testing work immediately upon the attainment of a suitable testing environment.

3.3

Commissioning and Statutory Inspections Commissioning is the advancement of an installation from the stage of static completion to full working conditions and to meet the performance requirements as specified in the General/Particular Specification. This will include setting into operation and regulation of the installation. It is expected that fine-tuning of the commissioned system shall be done by the Contractor to match system performance to the actual needs of the building occupier more closely. Where necessary, after the proper testing and commissioning of the Swimming Pool Water Treatment Installation, the Contractor shall notify the appropriate authority, through the PBSE of the completion of the installation and its readiness for final inspection.
